Hi, I have installed a trial version of VC++ Express 2005 with the
budled SQL Server. After creating a C++ Forms prototype, with some
tables into a database file named Test1.mdb, now I want to make ODBC
available this local database.

What are the steps required to add and ODBC entry so any ODBC-capable
program may access my prototype?

I know in advance the location of the database file and log file, know
it is local (so the server is localhost or just (local) ) and also the
driver name and the port number.

What is unknown to me is the user id and password as the installlation
was done to auth with OS credentials.
Could be "sa" without password?

Thanks in advance, Carlos
